Ye! This is the 1st time I created a jorunal entry and music review in one. Maybe Im not good at this
but I think its better to try it than never
so here it goes
^__^
1st part: Brief Music Review^__^
Its been almost 4 years since Valley of Chromes full length album Love and Devotion was released. It was the fusion of Heavy Metal and Hardcore music that captured me first. Then I was entangled by the flowing and profound lyrics of each song
Thus since the day I got my copy of Love and Devotion it then turned out to be my favourite album up to now.
Valley of Chrome is popularly known for their heavy metal guitar and bass lines, heart pounding drum rolls, and hardcore yet melodic growling vocals. Furthermore without any doubt the lyrics are rhythmical and truly poetic. However some people still cant understand and appreciate their music because its too loud for them.
Will they ever understand a song if they dont even try to listen? Its just like criticizing a painting without looking closer
I really loved this album but what really took my attention is the song Love and Devotion, which is also the album title. As expected the song sounded heavy metal plus the vocals is really hardcore but the lyrics is indeed about Love and Devotion. Its a combination of music and lyrics that is quite ironic. And if you dont listen carefully it would sound like its an angry song
but its not.
Ill be posting the song Love and Devotion at my multiply account

2nd Part: My very 1st journal entry^__^
Love and Devotion
a song that became my inspiration
An inspiration to search for the one to love and sing this song unto
I have been searching for her since the day that I realized the meaning of this song. I have met different persons in the past and thought shes one of them. I fell in love
but I was never loved
I tried to look for her again and again
but failed
again and again
I did my best. I had no regrets
I really did fell in love
but not with the right person. It was too early for my first love
and then it was too late when I felt love again. I was ready to give up
I even told my self not to trust girls anymore
I secluded myself from everyone and took the long way every time I go home. I hate people. I hate things. I hate myself. I dont understand. Im always early then Im always late
maybe I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time
Why did it have to be this way? Maybe these things are meant to happen?
Yes indeed. Life is full of surprises. Sometimes things just happen unexpected. ^__^
from endless depression to inspiration
I didnt search for the one to love anymore. I wanted to forget my past and give up already. Well, giving up is the only thing that I can do to escape this depression
but then she came along on that fateful day. The Unforgettable Friday night
I didnt came too early and I guess Im not too late because the timing was perfect. Was it really just plain coincidence? Or is it the moment in life called serendipity? ^__^
Realizations came into my mind
It came to me that things in the past did happen for a reason. Everything had to happen and it will happen at the right place at the right time.
Im very grateful for what had happened to me...
Thank you for coming into my life
you know who you are
^__^
Kudos to God, he is the one who made these beautiful things happen
There are so many things that I would love to tell everyone. But my thesis is waiting for me hehe^__^ to wrap things up, I would like to repeat the words that I have been saying for years
the words that inspired me to write this devious journal entry
the words that I cling to and never left me
Love & Devotion
Love and Devotion
By Valley of Chrome
So this is the price to pay for being into you
Face first into the ground not knowing what hit me
Never have I felt my lungs breathe air this fresh again
I found you among these zombies devoid of emotion
I gave my heart to you now everything around mes new
Guess youll be here in my arms tonight and my pastll be undone
Have we found heaven in the form of our flesh and blood
The serpent descends to taunt us watching our lips meet
Your eyes signify beauty magnified a hundredfold
Bringing me the warmth against a world so cold
As long as I live I vow to hold on to
All is dust and wind everytime that Im with you
Youve given me the stars and I could feel them in my hands
I used to be so skeptical but now I understand
You are a masterpiece you are the epitome of art
One wish now to the heavens that well never be apart
( the constellations in the sky show your faces silhouette
Ive seen you in my dreams even before we met.)
I gave my heart to you now everything around mes new
Guess youll be here in my arms tonight and my pastll be undone
Because the air I breathe is you and everything around mes new
What was wrong it now just feels so right and my past is now undone
Into the unknown we travel we brave a sandstorm threatening
These are the words we cling to with your hand in mine we sing
Love and devotion...
